“We want to say a big thank you to all the staff and volunteers,” said Lt. Jory Hewson.  “We couldn’t continue to do what we do and provide support to the communities that we serve in without the hard work that all of you do.  The mission of the store is to serve those in the community whether they are in need or not in need.”
